8 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

Stunning Garden of the Gods Park scenery, blue skies and the glory of Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain have attracted visitors to Colorado Springs for more than a century.

Popular historic sites such as Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site and Manitou Cliff Dwellings are in your itinerary. Get a sense of the local culture at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. Change things up with these side-trips from Colorado Springs: Victor Lowell Thomas Museum (in Victor) and Outlaw and Lawmen Jail Museum (in Cripple Creek). There's lots more to do: get engrossed in the history at ANA Money Museum, hike along Palmer Park, get outside with Adventures Out West, and admire the masterpieces at Michael Garman Museum & Gallery.
